Emissions Certifications

• CARB

• EPA Tier 4

Features may include:

• Varies exhaust pressure based on load and speed to ensure proper EGR flow. The combination of the cooled EGR and VGT provide low-speed torque, quicker transient response, higher-peak torque, and world-class fuel economy

• EGR cools and mixes measured amounts of cooled exhaust gas with incoming fresh air to lower peak combustion temperatures, thereby reducing NOx

• This system is the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for particulates that delivers premium block load acceptance characteristics and utilize a catalyzed exhaust filter that contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DOC reacts with exhaust gases to reduce carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and some particulate matter (PM). The downstream DPF traps and holds the remaining PM. Trapped particles are oxidized within the DPF through a continuous cleaning process called passive regeneration. Passive regeneration occurs during normal operating conditions when heat from the exhaust stream and catalysts within the exhaust filter trigger the oxidation of the trapped PM. If passive regeneration cannot be achieved due to low temperature, load, or speed, then PM is removed using active regeneration — an automatic cleaning process controlled by the exhaust temperature management system

• John Deere engines feature an SCR system that utilizes a urea-based additive, sometimes referred to as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The ammonia in the urea reacts with engine exhaust gases in the SCR catalyst to reduce NOx — converting it to nitrogen and water vapor

• The HPCR fuel system provides variable common-rail pressure, multiple injections, and higher injection pressures up to 2,500 bar (36,000 psi). It also controls fuel injection timing and provides precise control for the start, duration, and end of injection

• The 4-valve cylinder head provides excellent airflow resulting in greater low-speed torque and better transient response time by utilizing a cross-flow design

• This is the most efficient method of cooling intake air to help reduce engine emissions while maintaining low-speed torque, transient response time, and peak torque. It enables an engine to meet emissions regulations with better fuel economy and the lowest installed costs

• Lower installed cost

• Mounting points are the same as previous engine models

• Faster engine control unit (ECU) manages both the engine and the exhaust filter

• Premium software option integrates with equipment or vehicles to reduce engineering and installation costs

• Electronic engine controls can be engine or remote mounted

• Glow plugs

• Gear-driven auxiliary drives

• 500-hour oil change

• Self-adjusting poly-vee fan drive

• RH and LH engine-mounted final fuel filters

• Replaceable (wet) cylinder liners

• Low-pressure fuel system with electrical transfer pump and "auto-prime" feature

• Big-engine durability
